So Roland Martin from CNN has been suspended indefinitely for tweets that he made during the superbowl.

If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him! #superbowl

Who the hell was that New England Patriot they just showed in a head to toe pink suit? Oh, he needs a visit from #teamwhipdatass

I have to call those in poor taste for sure. Oddest part of the story though was the last paragraph:

Martin has a history making provocative statements. Last October, while responding to the U.S.-led attack that killed Anwar al-Awlaki--the American-born radical Islamic preacher turned propaganda chief for al-Qaida--Martin wrote: "Look, I don't want to kill someone. But if you threaten my family [and] one of our lives is in danger, I'm doing all I can to kill you. No apologies."

I wouldn't really call that a "provocative statement" I would say that would be a plain fact for most people.

Yeah, it's what they say in songs and stuff now so they don't have to beep it/cut it. It's popular on twitter and stuff now.

Weird story, anyway.

There's too close to homophobia for my liking.

Not a fan of vigilantism. Besides being illegal chances are either you kill them and you go to jail or they kill you, too. Let the authorities deal with it.

Self Defense isn't illegal. Key words in his statement being "one of our lives is in danger."

Okay, that's fine.

Hmm so apparently 3 people have donated 10k to Double Fine them being Gabe Newell (the 10k donation), Felicia Day (?) and Notch (2x5,000 he wanted paintings)

EDIT: Also I'm thinking a million by this time tommorow

Bogart

Felicia Day is an actress/writer. She was in Dr Horrible's thingy and is the creator of The Guild. Nerds alternate between creeping on her and attacking her as a phony.

Is it really contentious that she just plays to the nerd crowd? She's very good at it, but it's her job to pretend.

MyDcmbr

She is friends with Wil Wheaton, who we all know is a real nerd, so maybe she isn't just playing.

You're too young to understand.

Wil Wheaton is a p cool dude though. I used to read his stuff when he was posting on Suicide Girls back in the day.

I doubt Felicia Day could appeal to nerds so effectively (e.g. The Guild) if she wasn't a nerd herself. Don't people just assume a pretty actress can't be a nerd?

Yes, I would also like one of those.

Jacobkosh

I honestly did not think Felicia Day's nerdiness was ever in question

I don't watch her show or anything but I can't imagine someone would basically pretend to be that 24 hours a day

I didn't think you could get suspended from tweeting...

can't he just open up his own personal account?

It was a provocative statement because he was using it to justify the directed killing of an American.

I dunno. I think The Guild grew out of her playing a hell of a lot of WoW and little else.

She appears genuine to me. Whoever she's dating is very lucky. Beautiful, talented, intelligent, funny, successful and a nerd. The perfect woman.

Yeah, I heard about that. It sounds awesome. Gaiman wrote a really nice piece about him in the Guardian special on SF recently, naming him as his literary hero. Big photograph of Wolfe with his walrus moustache.

Bogart

This piece, in fact.

In Sweden we laugh at the concept of "liberal" meaning "left".
